A HISTORY OF TEAM YOSHIMURA

TEAM YOSHIMURA has been racing for about 50 years, since POP Yoshimura, the founder, established YOSHIMURA JAPAN. There are three concepts why we have been racing.

  1. Development of motorcycle industry and motor sports
  2. Contribution of our technology to society
  3. Supply of High-Quality products and its feedback to customers

We intend to develop the motorcycle industry by producing high-quality products.
They are not only speedy but also good to environment. The MJN (Multiple Jet Nozzle) carburetor of YOSHIMURA JAPAN is a good example. The MJN carburetor has high potency as a racing part and high fuel efficiency as a consideration to environment. We always intend to contribute our technology to the society and motorcycle industry.
We never forget our customers, as well. We need to produce high quality products and provide them in good condition. Our products have been tested critically through hard winning races. We must win races to satisfy these three concepts. The history of TEAM YOSHIMURA indicates how much we put efforts into achieving them.@ We will never stop racing forever.
